Clara Langhorne Clemens Samossoud,[1] formerly Clara Langhorne Clemens Gabrilowitsch (June 8, 1874 – November 19, 1962[1]), was the daughter of Samuel Clemens, who wrote as Mark Twain. She was a contralto concert singer[2] and, as her father's only surviving child, managed his estate and guarded his legacy after his death. She was married twice—first to Ossip Gabrilowitsch, then (after Gabrilowitsch's death) to Jacques Samossoud. She wrote biographies of Gabrilowitsch and of her father. In her later life she became a Christian Scientist.
Clara was the second of three daughters born to Samuel Clemens and his wife Olivia Langdon Clemens in Elmira, New York.[3][4] Her older sister, Susy, died when Clara was 22. Her only brother, Langdon, died as an infant before she was born. Her younger sister was Jean. Clara had a serious accident as a child, while riding a toboggan she ended up being hurled into a great oak tree. This resulted in a severe leg injury that almost led to amputation.[5]
Early career[edit]
She spent the period from September 1897 to May 1899 living in Vienna with her parents.[6][7] While there, she cultivated her voice for the purpose of going on the concert stage. Her voice was characterized as unusually sweet and attractive.[8] She also studied piano in 1899 under Teodor Leszetycki.[9] In December 1900, she was invited by the people of Hartford to perform at a grand concert given by the Boston Symphony Orchestra.[3] She studied for several years under masters in Europe, before making her professional debut in Florence.[10] Her American debut, assisted by violinist Marie Nichols,[10] as a contralto concert singer was on the evening of September 22, 1906 at the Norfolk Gymnasium.[11] in Norfolk, Connecticut where in 1905 she rented Edgewood,[12] Clemens used the proceeds from the concert to purchase a memorial window for her mother in the Norfolk Church of the Transfiguration, Episcopal.[13] Charles Edmund "Will" Wark (1876-1954), a classical pianist originally from Cobourg, Ontario, Canada, became Clemens piano accompanist from the winter of 1906 to late in 1908.[2][14] Clemens and Nichols also continued to perform together, including a series of concerts in London and Paris in 1908.[15] On May 30, Clemens debuted in London at a benefit concert, raising money for American girls to attend Oxford and Cambridge Universities.[2][16]
Accident and marriage[edit]
At 10:00am on December 20, 1908 in Danbury, Clemens went for a sleigh ride with Russian concert pianist Ossip Gabrilowitsch who was staying with her father at his residence, Innocence at Home,[17] in Redding. While passing through Redding Glen, the horse took fright at a wind-whipped newspaper and bolted with driver Gabrilowitsch losing control. At the top of a hill, next to a 60-foot (18 m) drop, the sleigh overturned, throwing Clemens out. Gabrilowitsch leaped to the ground and caught the horse by the head, stopping it as it was about to plunge over the bank, dragging Clemens with her dress caught in a runner. Having only sprained his right ankle, Gabrilowitsch returned Clemens to home, unharmed except for the shock of the accident.[17] Twain biographer Michael Shelden doubted the truth of this heroic tale and supplied a motive for why the story might have been planted in the press, namely, to quiet rumors that Clara was having an affair with Charles E. Wark, her former accompanist, a married man.[18]
Clemens had been introduced to Gabrilowitsch in 1899 in Vienna by Theodor Leschetizky who was also training Gabrilowitsch.[9] At noon on October 6, 1909, she subsequently married Gabrilowitsch in the drawing room at Stormfield, the Clemens home with Rev. Dr. Joseph H. Twitchell presiding.[19][20] (Twitchell was a great friend of her father.[5]) Her father said that the engagement was not new, having been "made and dissolved twice six years ago."[20] He also said that the marriage was sudden because Gabrilowitsch had just recovered from a surgical operation he had undergone in the summer and they were about to head off to their new house in Berlin where he would begin his European season.[20] Her sister, Jean Clemens, drowned in the bathtub on December 24, 1909 after having an epileptic seizure.[21] On April 21, 1910, her father died and left his entire estate to her in a will dated August 17, 1909 which provided for quarterly payments of interest to keep it "free from any control or interference from any husband she may have."[22] On July 9, she announced that she was giving practically the entire library of her father, comprising nearly 2,500 books, to the Mark Twain Free Library.[23] On August 19, 1910, her only child, Nina (1910-1966), was born in Connecticut at Stormfield.[24] Nina, the last known lineal descendant of Mark Twain, died January 16, 1966 in a Los Angeles hotel. She had been a heavy drinker, and bottles of pills and alcohol were found in her room.[25]
Later life[edit]
On April 23, 1926, she played the title role in a dramatization of Joan of Arc written by her father at Walter Hampden's theater.[1][26][27] This adaptation and her performance were not very well received by critics.[26] It was again produced in 1927, opening on April 12 and for a series of special morning and afternoon performances at the Edyth Totten Theatre.[28][29]
Gabrilowitsch was conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra from 1918 until 1935, when he fell ill. He entered the Henry Ford Hospital on March 25, 1935, where he stayed until September 28, 1935, at which point he was released to his home to convalesce.[9][30] He subsequently died at his home on September 14, 1936, aged 58.[9]
On May 11, 1944, Clara and Jacques Samossoud, a Russian born symphony conductor 20 years her junior, were married in her Hollywood home.[9] She died at age eighty-eight in San Diego, California.[1]
Clara explored eastern religions for a few years, and then eventually became a Christian Scientist, although there is some question as to her seriousness and commitment to it. She authored a book on the subject: Awake to a Perfect Day, published by Citadel Press, NYC, 1956[31][32] After originally objecting to the release of her father's Letters from the Earth in 1939, she changed her stance shortly before her death in 1962 and allowed them to be published.[32] She also published biographies of both her father (My Father, Mark Twain in 1931) and of her first husband (My Husband: Gabrilowitsch in 1938).[1]

Mandatory Rules and Default Rules in Insurance ContractsTom BakerUniversity of Pennsylvania Law School Kyle D. LogueUniversity of Michigan Law School August 27, 2014 In The Law & Economics of Insurance (Elgar Publishing, Forthcoming) U of Michigan Law & Econ Research Paper No. 13-024 U of Michigan Public Law Research Paper No. 377 U of Penn, Inst for Law & Econ Research Paper No. 13-38 Abstract: The economic analysis of contract law can be organized around two general questions: (1) what are the efficient or welfare-maximizing substantive rules of contract law; and (2) once those rules have been identified, when if ever should they be made mandatory and when should they be merely "default rules" that the parties can contract around if they wish? Much of contract theory over the past twenty years has been devoted to developing answers to those two questions. The same two questions can be posed with respect to the rules of insurance law. Although previous scholars have examined particular substantive doctrines of insurance law (such as contra proferentem and the "duty to settle"), insurance law scholars as well as courts and legislatures have largely ignored whether and under what circumstances rules of insurance law generally should be mandatory. This article begins to fill that gap in the literature. The article articulates a straightforward efficiency-based approach to drawing the line between which rules in insurance law should be considered mandatory and which should be changeable by agreement of the parties. Specifically, the article suggests drawing the line in a way that is consistent with the market-failure rationale that justifies making contract rules mandatory in the first place. This same principle would apply to all contracts, not only insurance contracts. The article describes how insurance law currently draws the line between mandatory rules and default rules and evaluates whether those boundaries are consistent with the applicable market failure rationales. In addition, the article takes into account the unique role that state insurance regulators can play in helping courts decide which rules of insurance law, or terms in insurance contracts, are mandatory and which are defaults. Finally, the article explains how the rules/standards distinction must be considered in the design of the optimal mandatory/default-rule boundary.

Elveren, Adem Y. and Kar, Muhsin. (2005) "Turkey's Economic Integration into the EU: Challenges and Opportunities". In: UNSPECIFIED, Austin, Texas. (Unpublished)
Plain Text Download (63Kb) |
[From the Introduction]. The ruling elite have long seen the economic and political integration into Europe a cherished goal for Turkey. Turkey has been a member in many organizations in the Western Europe since the post war period. However, Turkey was officially recognized as a candidate for the European Union in Helsinki in 1999, given a date for the beginning of the accession negotiations in December 2004 and, in this meeting, decided to start the negotiations in October 2005, four decades after the Ankara Agreement signed between Turkey and the EEC in 1963. In addition, Turkey signed a Customs Union Agreement with the EU in 1995.... In this context, the aim of this paper is to examine the dynamics of the accession process in terms of the opportunities and challenges for Turkey. In particular, the impacts of the negotiation processes on the potential economic outcomes will be analyzed in detail. In order to fulfill these objectives, the paper will examine the relationship between Turkey and the EU under the sub period which might be clearly distinguished from the economic policies carried out and macroeconomic environments.

BOWLING GREEN - The third time was the charm for Bullitt East's Katie Nusz as she senior made the opening day cut and played a second round at least week's Leachman Buick Girls' Kentucky State Golf Tournament at the Bowling Green Country Club.
Nusz finished with a 170 total which tied her for 33rd overall. That is the best finish ever by a Bullitt Countian in this event.

MOUNT WASHINGTON - Cross country, which is having somewhat of a break-out season, took another big step forward Thursday when for the first time in at least 20 years and the first time ever at Bullitt East, there was a local meet held.
Both Bullitt East and North Bullitt took to the big field across from Bullitt East High School and some vacant lots further back in that subdivision to compete in one race with everyone taking part. Girls and boys ran in the one race along with varsity and junior-varsity runners all at one time.
FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL: Results from Bullitt County high school football games. Continue to check www.pioneernews.net for score updates.

CLASS 5-A PLAYOFFS: Anderson County 42, BULLITT CENTRAL 7

November 5:
CLASS 5-A PLAYOFFS: BULLITT CENTRAL 28, South Oldham 21
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Been there, done that and that is a good thing.
For the second straight season, the Bullitt Central Lady Cougars qualified for the Girls' Kentucky Class 3-A Cross-Country State Championships with a strong showing on Saturday at the Region 3 Meet at E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park in eastern Jefferson County.
HEBRON ESTATES - The 29th District Volleyball Tournament got off the ground with an upset on Monday as the Bullitt East Lady Chargers rallied to beat top-seeded North Bullitt 12-25, 25-9, 25-19.
North Bullitt had beaten Bullitt East three times this season, but could not find the post-season magic that seems to still reside with the Lady Chargers. The Bullitt East program has now won 13 straight matches in district play and will go for a seventh straight district title on Wednesday when they take on Bullitt Central in the championship game.
BUCKNER - Bullitt County's most successful day ever of distance running had its epi-center at Oldham County High School with the Class 2-A, Region 3 Cross-Country Championships.
Getting top performances all over the board, Bullitt East and North Bullitt both turned in record setting days on Saturday, qualifying three teams for this week's Kentucky State Cross-Country Championships at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - It took a little extra time to decide a winner in Saturday's Little Bullitts' Championship Game but that was just fine with the Overdale Chiefs.
Getting the ball first in the overtime period, the Chiefs scored on fourth down and then turned it over to the defense which stopped the Maryville Patriots at the 5-yard line on the final play of the game to secure the 19-13 victory.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - A year after Bullitt County football teams went 0-3 in the first-round of the play-offs, last Friday night really was a golden evening with wins by both Bullitt Central and North Bullitt.
North Bullitt has certainly done it before. The Eagles have played in regional finals and even a state semi-final and could well do it again this year.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - With a team looking to defend its Pee Wee title in the Greater Bullitt County Football League, the Overdale Chiefs looked to be in trouble on Saturday.
Down 6-0 at halftime, head coach Travis Goodwin must have had the winning speech as the Chiefs came back to defeat the Old Mill Bengals 18-12 in the closing seconds.
The Bengals got on the board first with just 34 seconds left in the second quarter.
Zeke Kern recovered a Chief fumble at the Chief 7.

OPEC Sees Modest 2008 Demand, More Oil Produced by Rivals
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries said on Monday that world oil demand in 2008 will grow moderately, while supply from rival producers will expand, reducing the need for crude from the exporter group.
The assessment, in OPEC's July Monthly Oil Market Report, underscores OPEC's view that crude supply is enough -- and that oil prices near a record high reflect a strain on refineries and other factors beyond its control.

U.S. oil may hit $95 if OPEC does not hike output: Goldman
U.S. crude price could top $90 a barrel this autumn and hit $95 by the end of the year if OPEC keeps oil production capped at current levels, Goldman Sachs said in a report issued on Monday.
U.S. oil prices have risen to near $74 per barrel, driven this month by higher demand and lower supplies, the report said, pointed out that such fundamentals could tighten further unless key OPEC members hike output.

Energy's Manpower Peak? - Why the biggest problem might not be oil.
Robert Bryce, Energy Tribune
For headhunters like Tom Zay, business couldn't be better. "I have never seen demand like this," says Zay, a managing director in the Houston office of Boyden, an executive worldwide search firm. "We've had cycles in the past. But this is different."
Indeed it is. While Zay looks for executives and top-level managers, the entire energy industry - from welders, tank builders, and roughnecks to petroleum engineers, nuclear engineers, and technicians - is strapped for talent. And the problems are likely to get substantially worse before they get better. Nor is the labor shortage limited to the U.S. and the hydrocarbon sector. Rather, it is worldwide, and being felt in industries ranging from coal mining to nuclear power. The reasons for the labor crunch are many: an aging workforce, lagging student interest in engineering, a lack of interest in blue-collar jobs like welding, and perhaps most important, the strong commodity prices that have led to a boom in energy projects of all types.
This article will survey a few of the sectors and geographic regions facing labor shortages.

dc.description.abstract | The rapid growth and modernization of economies in developing countries like Botswana creates new and unmet demands for certain kinds of educated and skilled labour. The expansion of secondary and tertiary school systems has also created a problem of unemployed school leavers. The growth of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), globalization and the digital divide likewise, have together put new pressures on developing countries to accelerate their development to meet these demands. This paper reports the results of a survey that sought to assess levels of eLearning readiness, applications and trainee requirements in Botswana's private sector. Such baseline data can inform policymakers and researchers and promote the transformation required of private sector companies to become learning organizations. The findings suggested that eLearning readiness (eReadiness) levels were moderate to low, and that archaic technology (i.e., overhead projection) was used by more than half of the private sector organizations for training (with far less than half using digital eLearning applications). While the overall findings suggested low levels of eLearning readiness, applications and trainee requirements in Botswana's private sector, seventy percent of trainers reported that their organizations encouraged them to acquire basic computer skills to facilitate eLearning. The current eLearning situation in Botswana, and the literature reviewed, demonstrates that the integration of ICTs in both developing and developed countries was a gradual process. Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have expedited the change process in developed countries. However, several limitations are associated with such partnerships and this renders lessons for developing countries to emulate. | en_US |

La Calisto
Francesco Cavalli |
La Calisto is an opera by Francesco Cavalli from a libretto by Giovanni Faustini based on the mythological story of Callisto.
The opera received its first performance on 28 November 1651 at the Teatro Sant 'Apollinare, Venice, where it drew limited audiences for its run of eleven performances. In the twentieth century it was successfully revived.
The libretto was published in 1651 by Giuliani and Batti. The story combines two myths: Jupiter's seduction of Calisto, and Diana's adventure with Endymion. The plot is somewhat formulaic: Jane Glover has commented on how the librettist had to invent complications to meet audience expectations in the context of Venetian opera.[1]
Performance history[edit]
Faustini, who was an impresario as well as a librettist, rented the Sant 'Apollinare Theatre in 1650. He and Cavalli put on three operas there before his death in December 1651 during the run of La Calisto. The theatre was equipped with complex stage machinery intended to impress the opera audiences with spectacle. However, the eleven performances of La Calisto from 28 November to 31 December 1651 attracted only about 1,200 patrons to a theatre that housed 400.[2]
The manuscript score was preserved in the Biblioteca Marciana, Venice, allowing La Calisto to be revived in modern times. The first person to publish the score was the British conductor Raymond Leppard in 1975.[3] Leppard had arranged the opera for performance at Glyndebourne Festival Opera in 1970. This production included a number of then-prominent singers including Janet Baker as Diana. It was significant for creating new audiences for baroque opera. However, the way that Leppard had "realised" (as he termed his orchestrations) the opera was removed from the original work. The recording of the Glyndebourne version has been re-released on compact disc.
In 2008, Jennifer Williams Brown's edition of the score (A-R Editions, 2007) won the American Musicological Society's Claude V. Palisca award (recognizing outstanding scholarly editions or translations).[4]

Gonzo was just too solid.
AO R2: Gonzalez def. Ilhan 6-3 6-4 7-5ClaudiuS 01-20-2010, 02:23 AM Gonzo was just too solid. Luinir 01-20-2010, 02:23 AM Marsel. :hug: LocoPorElTenis 01-20-2010, 02:25 AM Ilhan seems decent for his ranking but is no match for Gonzo. orangehat 01-20-2010, 02:27 AM Scoreline is a bit muggish for Gonzo... he might face Korolev next :spit: ClaudiuS 01-20-2010, 02:28 AM Yeah no way he couldn't avoid Gonzo using his cannon forehand at some points. At least Ilhan has a decent touch and he can use tricky angles pretty good. VolandriFan 01-20-2010, 02:49 AM Lots of Turkish fans at the match. Fernando into the third round reasonably comfortably! :) CeReN 01-20-2010, 03:21 AM Marsel :hug: Gonzo :clap2: Just too good. It was very noisy match, like a football derby. :lol::aparty: NoFroz 01-20-2010, 03:36 AM Never in doubt, though I thought Ilhan would get to a tiebreak at least, some of his decisions at the net were just terrible. :lol: At the turkish crowd, gave the match a good atmosphera. They were lucky to play Gonzalez in that regard, most players would've complain about the noise. ChinoRios4Ever 01-20-2010, 03:50 AM DC atmosphera out there, good for Gonzo to seal the deal in straights, too bad the problem in the knee. Zhenya will be tough to beat, hope Feña could reach Roddick. gulzhan 01-20-2010, 04:28 AM Ilhan looked not bad, especially for a LL :yeah: Ferrero Forever 01-20-2010, 08:43 AM As I said in the match report thread, I had a total blast being there live and singing along with the Chileans:) McAlistar 01-20-2010, 09:32 AM Got a fiver on Gonzo reaching the final, which would get me a cool 165 back :) zoparrat 01-20-2010, 01:07 PM Marsel played decent but he really has no penetration in his shots to hurt a player of Gonzo's caliber. All rallies were played on Gonzo's term, ending with Gonzo blasting a forehand for a winner. More often than not he landed them in since Marsel couldn't put him under pressure and fed Gonzo with gentle floaters. In the final set Marsel started going for his first serve more and finally won some free points in his service games. He also started reading the out wide Gonzo slider serves a little better. All in all, the difference between a ~150 player and top 15 player was very visible. Great experience for Marsel, hope he builds up on this. As for the Turkish fans, I know they couldn't have known any better on when and how to cheer since tennis has just appeared on the radar in Turkey. They were yelling during ball tosses and before the end of every change over. Other than that I guess it was a really fun atmosphere for a tennis match. Gonzo took all that extremely well and I think all that commotion hurt Marsel's game in the first set and a half by distracting him. If the score was closer with say Marsel winning a set, I wonder how the Turkish and Chilean crowds would have had shout matches etc. |

DEXTER In a referendum Dec. 10, residents in the Brownville Joint Fire District voted 119-45 in favor of the purchase of the village municipal building used by the Dexter Volunteer Fire Department.
The move came after the village of Dexter Board of Trustees agreed in September to sell the building for $340,000 to the fire district. The village needed to sell the building to proceed with its plan to build its new office building on property it owns on Liberty Street. It hopes to break ground on that 3,500-square-foot building in the spring and finish the project in the fall.

Museum butterfly collections chronicle evolutionary war against male-killers
The drawers of the world's museums are full of pinned, preserved and catalogued insects. These collections are more than just graveyards – they are a record of evolutionary battles waged between animals and their parasites. Today, these long-dead specimens act as "silent witnesses of evolutionary change", willing to tell their story to any biologist who knows the right question to ask.
This time round, the biologist was Emily Hornett, currently at UCL, and her question was "How have the ratios of male butterflies to female ones changed over time?" You would think that the sex ratios of insects to mirror the one-to-one proportions expected of humans but not if parasites get involved.
The bacterium Wolbachia is arguably the world's most successful parasite, infecting around 20% of all insects, themselves an extraordinarily successful group. It can infect eggs but not sperm, which means that females can pass the bacteria on to their offspring, but males cannot. As a result, Wolbachia has it in for males – they are evolutionary dead-ends, and the bacterium has many strategies for getting rid of them. It can kill them outright, it can turn them into females and it can prevent them from mating with uninfected females. As a result, populations infected with Wolbachia can be virtually male-free.
To study the effect of Wolbachia on butterfly populations, Hornett (great name for an entomologist)turned to collections of the blue moon butterfly (Hypolimnas bolina). This beautiful species was heavily collected by entomologists between 1870 and 1930 and their efforts have stocked the museums of the world with specimens. While these were long dead, Hornett found that many of them contained viable DNA and she used them to develop a genetic test for Wolbachia infections.
She validated her Wolbachia test by using butterflies collected by the entomologist H.W.Simmons in Fiji over 70 years ago. Simmons carefully recorded the numbers of males and females in his butterflies and noted some very unusual all-female brood. Sure enough, Hornett confirmed that only mothers who tested positive for Wolbachia produced these skewed clutches, while those that were infection-free gave birth to the standard bisexual broods.
Satisfied that her test was accurate, Hornett cast her net further. She looked at specimens collected from five populations of blue moon butterflies collected from the Phillippines, Borneo, Tahiti, Fiji and Samoa between 73 and 123 years ago. The butterflies are well studied to this day, so Hornett could compare the proportion of Wolbachia infections then and now. In butterfly time, this represents a gap of 500 to 1000 generations separating the specimens from their modern descendants.
The results show that the butterfly and the bacterium have been engaging in a heated evolutionary battle throughout the Pacific. The male-killer's dominance has fluctuated greatly, rising in some areas and falling in others, while the butterfly has repeatedly evolved to resist its sex-skewing antics.
Among the historical populations, only the Philippine group had a high proportion of infected males – a sign that they had developed a resistance to Wolbachia, which has been maintained to this day. In Borneo, the butterflies have evolved resistance over time – collectors didn't capture a single infected male in 1878 (or indeed, very many males at all), but such individuals are commonplace now. This rise of resistance parallels the real-time events that Hornett, together with Emily Dyson and Greg Hurst documented in Samoa a couple of years ago.
Only Viti Levu in Fiji ha actually managed to avoid Wolbachia infection, rather than simply shrugging it off. In 1886, 45% of the population were infected, but this climbed to 92% by 1934, before falling back to 59% by modern times. Remarkably, this trend mirrors notes written by field biologists studying the butterflies over the years. In 1888, Mathew counted 2 females for every male. In the 1920s, at the height of the infection, Poulton estimated 12 females to every male, while modern counts have returned to a two-to-one ratio.
Elsewhere, the bacterium's fortunes have been better. On the Polynesian islands of Ua Huka and Tahiti, the male-killer was either absent or rare in historical populations (again, supported by written records) but common today. Unsurprisingly, male blue moon butterflies are a rarity in these places.
This isn't just a matter of nebbish census-taking – the dominance of male-killer infections can have drastic consequences for their hosts' biology. For a start, the absence of males would dramatically shrink the population size, reducing its genetic diversity and leaving it ill-prepared to face future environmental changes, or even others predators or parasites.
The results portray a geographic mosaic of infection and suppression, across the entire Pacific. The migration of butterflies from island to island may help to spread beneficial adaptations to populations that need it. Indeed, the suppressive ability that has protected the Philippine males for over a century may have contributed to the resistant populations of Samoa and Borneo. Perhaps in time, Tahiti and Ua Huka will benefit too.
Hornett's work also shows that the balance of power can shift very dramatically between a host and its parasite over a relatively short span of time. In fact, these cycles may happen so rapidly that many may be completely invisible to us – a pattern of sex distortion that stays invisible because we aren't looking quickly enough.
Fossil-hunters can glimpse the threads of evolution by looking at the bones of ancient animals and look at how they differed from their modern relatives. That tells us about evolution on geological time-scales, spanning millions of years. But museum specimens can act as fossils of a sort, offering a peephole on evolutionary changes over a much shorter and more contemporary scale.

Emergency Situations
When an unpredicted emergency occurs or a condition exists, it will be reported immediately to the College of Staten Island Public Safety Office at 718-982-2111.
The Public Safety Desk Officer or Dispatcher will follow a defined sequence of responses. The sequence, defined below, will be followed for nearly all emergency situations. Some situations might require a deviation from this sequence, but in all situations, full and complete communication with College officials is required. The usual sequence to be followed is:
1. Dispatch Peace Officers and make appropriate fire and/or medical rescue calls
2. Notify the Director of Public Safety or designee if unavailable, who will determine whether or not to initiate their emergency notification listing or selectively notify individuals (as established through policy set by the College President or designee)
3. If the emergency notification list is initiated, the President or designee, in consultation with the Emergency Operations Group Leader, will determine the appropriate level of emergency responses) and to what extent the Emergency Response and Recovery Groups (Operations and/or Policy) will become involved.
back to top
The following are the different levels of emergency with the appropriate communications, notifications, and involvement for each level:
LEVEL 1 – A Level I emergency includes a minor department or building incident that can be resolved by the responding service unit. This may result in calling in personnel and notifying the department where the problem occurred. An example is the Building & Grounds response to a broken water pipe. There is no need to notify or involve anyone outside of the affected area.
LEVEL 2 – A Level 2 emergency includes a department or building incident that can be resolved with existing College resources or limited outside help. A Level 2 incident is usually a one‑dimensional event that has a limited duration and little impact on the campus community beyond those using the space/building in which it occurred. Examples include: minor chemical or fuel oil spills, building loss of heat or electricity for several hours, or a minor fire confined to a room and not involving hazardous chemicals. Notification may be made to College administration.
Emergencies Level 1 and Level 2 usually are spontaneous and unfold rapidly, not lending to a formal declaration of emergency. For the most part, these emergencies are facilities related matters that can readily be resolved between the college facilities departments and other college groups, such as Computer Services, Public Safety and Health Safety. The President or designee must establish a protocol concerning who in the administration should be notified when such incidents occur.
LEVEL 3 –Level 3 emergencies are incidents that are primarily people, rather than infrastructure focused. Examples include: assaults, sexual assaults, building/office occupations, hate crimes, or workplace violence. In these situations, the campus Emergency Response & Recovery (ERRT) Team plans must be implemented with involvement from the Office of Public Safety or local law enforcement, and the University Emergency Management Team must be informed of the incident. Additionally, University/College Legal and Media Relations employees may need to be consulted depending upon the nature of the incident and its severity.
College administrative staff comprises a critical group that must evaluate Level 3 situations. This group needs to be convened by the President or designee. The key element in this process is the notification of these individuals or their representatives so they can evaluate all facets and potential ramifications of a Level 3 situation. Certain situations that first emerge as minor may have the potential to evolve into a major crisis if not appropriately handled. An example would be a simple assault that is later determined to be racially motivated. The college could suffer significant personal and institutional consequences if a situation such as this is not dealt with appropriately.
A variety of issues can become quite complex because of the varied institutional, student and community responses that must be coordinated. Examples of situations that have the potential to become of a magnitude that the college and its community would suffer include assaults, sexual assaults, and building/office occupation; hate crimes, bomb threats, controversial speakers, the instance of symbolic structures and bias related crimes. This list is not all-inclusive; therefore if there is ever any question, appropriate senior administrative individuals must be informed.
LEVEL 4 – A Level 4 emergency includes a major emergency that impacts a sizable portion of the campus and/or outside community. Level 4 emergencies may be single or mufti‑hazard situations and often require considerable coordination both within and outside the College. Level 4 emergencies also include imminent events on campus or in the general community that may develop into a major College crisis or a full disaster. Examples include: bomb threats, heating plant failures, extended power outages, weather emergencies, major fires, contagious disease outbreaks, or domestic water contamination. In these situations, campus Emergency Response Team plans must be implemented and the University Emergency Management Team must be notified and involved.
LEVEL 5 – A Level 5 emergency includes a catastrophic emergency event involving the entire campus and surrounding community. Immediate resolution of the disaster, which is usually mufti‑hazard, is beyond the emergency response capabilities of campus and local resources. Examples include: earthquakes, tornadoes, or major hurricanes that require State and Federal assistance. In these situations, campus Emergency Response Team plans must be implemented and the University Emergency Management Team must be notified and involved.
Level 1 & 2 Emergencies Central Office notifications, while not required at this level, should be considered if the event is still unfolding and has a high potential to develop into a higher level emergency.
Level 3 Emergencies College Public Safety Director notifies Office of the University Public Safety Director.

C3 Venom Review
Hi all,
I wanted to dedicate a thread about my ordering/impressions of my C3 Venom 36 for anyone considering a high performance fin for their board, but not too sure about ordering online, etc. This is the fin recommended by Remi Vila as the best match for Futura 93l. I haven't had any time on the water with it yet but I just wanted to start this thread off by saying how fantastic the service is. I ordered the fin on Monday, and it has arrived as promised, 3 days later. The guys at C3 are really good with their emails so the couple of issues I had with payment were solved quickly. With regards to the fin itself, the finish is impeccable and it comes with a very durable and protective cover. However, the fin doesn't come with bolts so make sure you keep your old ones if you're buying this fin. Hopefully I'll get some time on the water with it in the next couple of days. I'll post my first impressions on this thread. Cheers, Adrien

One very trashy portrait of Honey Boo Boo [video]
fifteen minutes of fameHoney Boo BooJason MecierSure, we all thought Honey Boo Boo's fifteen minutes of fame would be just that, but with TLC's new show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, it appears the clock's still ticking.
To honor this most unlikely superstar, mosaic portrait artist Jason Mecier took a stab at enshrining the pop culture icon using twenty-five pounds of trash.
We'll leave it up to her former competition on the beauty pageant circut to make the catty remarks, though.

Amy Thiam gives Senegal
first womens gold
Edmonton, August 8 The 24-year-old won a stunning victory in the womens 400 metres, beating Lorraine Fenton of Jamaica by only two hundredths of a second clocking 49.86 seconds. Mexicos Ana Guevara, one of the favourites, took the bronze in 49.97 sec. The event had been blown wide open when Olympic champion Cathy Freeman decided to take the year off and injuries forced out US champion La Tasha Colander-Richardson and world leader Katharine Merry. Thiam grabbed her chance and refused to wilt in a nail-biting final 30 metres as she and Fenton ran stride by stride. Its a fantastic feeling to know you are the best in the world, she enthused. Amy had reached the finals with the best time of 50.21 sec when she won heat no.2 of the semi-finals in which Indias
K. M. Beenamol went out. Equally delighted was Switzerlands Andre Bucher who finally laid to rest his bridesmaids tag by winning the mens 800m world title. The 24-year-old six-time minor medallist came home alone watched by his mother to confirm the talent everyone knew he possessed but had yet to gild with gold. Long-time pacesetter Wilfred Bungei of kenya took the silver and Polands Pawel Szapiewski came with a late burst to deprive another Kenyan, William Yiampoy, of bronze. The Swiss admitted that when he crossed the line and put his head in his hands it was as much in sheer relief as pleasure. Six years after first winning the long jump world title, Italys Fiona May regained her crown and then announced she would take a year out of athletics in the hope of becoming a mother. May won, but only a single centimetre separated her 7.02 metres jump from Tatyana Kotova of Russia, who jumped 7.01m. Niurka Montalvo, Spains defending champion, had to settle for bronze this time, jumping 6.88m. British-born May said winning in Edmonton would allow her to consider life away from the track. Gabriela Szabo, Romanias Olympic 5,000m gold medallist in Sydney, stepped down in distance to take the womens 1,500m. In the 1,500m final, Szabo produced a devastating kick finish down the home straight to stop the clock at 4min 00.57sec, the fastest time of the year. The silver medal was won by her compatriot, Violeta Szekely, who clocked 4:01.70. Russias Natalya Gorelova, who had done much of the early pacemaking in the race, was rewarded with the bronze medal after clocking 4:02.40. Derartu Tulu, the double Olympic gold medallist, led an Ethiopian clean sweep of the medals in a thrilling womens 10,000 metres, where a blanket could have covered the first four finishers at the end of 25 laps. Tulu clocked 31min 48.81sec, again showing the incredible finishing speed which had won her Olympic gold in Sydney as she just held off the determined challenge of Berhane Adere. Adere recorded 31:48.85. The bronze medal went to Gete Wami, the 1999 champion, who overtook Britains Paula Radcliffe in the final strides. Wami finished in 31:49.98, 0.08sec ahead of Radcliffe, who has now placed just outside the medals in Olympics and World Championships track events on five occasions. Youngsters look like taking over the newest event on the programme, after two 20-year-olds and an 18-year-old placed in the top four of the womens hammer. Yipsi Moreno, of Cuba, in her first year out of the junior ranks, took the gold medal after throwing 70.65 metres. The silver medal went to the relative veteran on the podium, Russias Olga Kuzenkova, the 30-year-old former world record-holder and Olympic silver medallist, clearing 70.61m. Bronwyn Eagles, the 20-year-old from Australia, took the bronze, her 68.87m throw beating the best effort of the Olympic champion, 18-year-old Kamila Skolimowska of Poland. There was no surprise in the decathlon as 29-year-old Czech, Tomas Dvorak, winner of the decathlon world title in 1997 and 1999, once again took the title of the greatest all-round athlete. For two days, Dvorak had to fight off the challenges of the Olympic gold medallist, Estonias Erki Nool, and Britains Dean Macey.
India beat England 2-1 in hockey Kuala Lumpur, August 8 Daljeet Dhillon (12th) and Deepak Thakur (63rd) scored for India while Danny Hall (50th) was the lone scorer for England. The victory gave India three points and placed them fifth in the seven-team field with a total of four points. Germany lead the table with 12 points from four matches while Australia, Pakistan and South Korea are joint second with seven points apiece. The top two teams will play in the final on
Sunday. It seemed the Indians would have to settle for a draw when Malaysian umpire Mohd Faithal Hj Hassan awarded a penalty stroke to England in the 50th minute for a reverse tackle on an English forward inside the Indian circle. But the Indians fought back after the England equaliser and scored the match-winner in the 63rd minute off a penalty corner. Both the teams were tentative at the start of the match and for almost the first 10 minutes played a defensive game. In the fifth minute, India had a chance off their first penalty corner. Dilip Tirkeys direct hit was taken on the pads by the English goalkeeper Jimi Lewis. India took the lead in the 12th minute when Sukhbir Singh dribbled past the midfield and passed the ball to Deepak Thakur who passed it to Baljit Singh Chandi. The Indian midfielder then cut past an English defender and shot towards the goal where Daljit Dhillon, running into the circle, deflected the shot past Jimi Lewis in the goal. Dilip Tirkey, Bikramjit Singh and Jugraj Singh gave brilliant display in the defence and restricted the English forwards from making any dangerous moves. India, who led 1-0 at the break, brought in Sabu Varkey in the second half but he again failed to put up his best performance. In keeping three forwards upfront, India yielded space to England which they utilised in the 50th minute charging inside the circle where a forward was reverse tackled by an Indian defender. To the shock of the Indians, the umpire blew for a stroke. Even the English, hoping for a free hit or a penalty corner, looked a little surprised. The entire Indian team protested but the umpire stood firm. Danny Hall got the equaliser with a perfect stroke to the right corner of Devesh Chauhan. It seemed that the game would be a repeat of what happened against Pakistan and Australia where the Indians conceded last minute match-winners to their rivals after putting up a spirited performance throughout. England kept up the attack after the equaliser twice closing in on the Indian goal with Chauhan having to rush out on one
occasion. With just seven minutes left, India earned their second penalty corner and Tirkeys direct hit rebounded off the pads of the English goalkeeper. Thakur intercepted the rebound and tapped it inside but the ball hit the post. Thakur latched on to it again and this time made no mistake in pushing the ball past the goalkeeper. India play South Korea in their last league encounter on Friday. Yesterday, Germany maintained
their superiority with a 5-2 drubbing of South Korea to virtually assure themselves a berth in the final. Germany have won all their four games. With games against Pakistan and England left, Germany need only two more points to make it to the final on Sunday. South Korea took the lead in the 26th minute with Yeo Woon-Kon scoring a field goal. But Bjorn Michel, who had scored four goals, including a hat-trick, in the 5-1 rout of Malaysia, once again got going and scored in the 33rd and 38th minute to put Germany 2-1 ahead. Kyung-Seok reduced the margin in the 42nd minute but Florian Kunz (58th), Sascha Reinelt (64th) and Michel (70th) pumped in three more goals to put the match beyond the Koreans.
Serena Williams, Hingis post easy victories Los Angeles, August 8 At the Manhattan Beach Country Club, the fourth-seeded Williams cruised to a 7-5 6-3 win over fellow American Jennifer Hopkins. Williams had not played since losing a heartbreaking three-set quarter-final to Jennifer Capriati at Wimbledon last month. A winner at Indian Wells in March, she improved to 13-1 lifetime at this event. Top seed Martina Hingis of Switzerland, trying to end a 5 1/2-month title drought, defeated American Lilia Osterloh for the second straight week with a 6-2 7-5 win. Hingis improved to 3-0 lifetime against Osterloh, whom she beat in the second round of the Acura Classic in San Diego. The 20-year-old from Switzerland has not won a tournament since consecutive crowns in February at Doha and Dubai. She was runner-up here in 1998 and has appeared in the semi-finals three other times. In the evening session, sixth-seeded Monica Seles of the USA breezed past countrywoman Marissa Irvin, 6-3 6-2. Seles has won seven of her last nine matches, reaching the semi-finals at Stanford and the final in San Diego. Seles has appeared in the championship match here five times, winning three titles. Tenth seed Sandrine Testud of France, a quarter-finalist last week, dispatched Anne Kremer of Luxembourg, 6-2 6-3 in another night match. Also, fifth seed Nathalie Tauziat of France defeated Tamarine Tanasugarn of Thailand, 6-3 7-6 (7/1) No. 14 Iroda Tulyaganova of Uzbekistan was upset by Australian Nicole Pratt 6-4 6-1 and number 15 Elena Likhovtseva of Russia beat Evie Dominikovic of Australia 6-1 6-3. Lucky loser Wynne Prakusya of Indonesia failed to take advantage of her second opportunity, losing to Rita Grande of Italy, 7-6 (7/4) 6-2. Prakusya took the place in the draw of Anna Kournikova, who withdrew with a sore foot. Kournikova also pulled out of next weeks event in Canada, putting her appearance at the US Open in jeopardy.
Sachin may miss series Mumbai, August 8 The hairline fracture to his right toe is healing very slowly and with the second bone scan scheduled on August 10 it is unlikely that he will take part in the Test series starting on August 14, the sources said. However, we will get a clear picture only after the bone scan is done and if he is ruled out of the series then he might attend the BCCIs working committee meeting at Baroda on August 11, they added.
Ajeetesh back
with trophies Chandigarh, August 8 Ajeeetesh is just back from another triumphant trip to Canada where he participated in tournaments organised by the Canadian Junior Golf Association. He has a number of trophies . In the Junior Linkster Tour Canada, Ajeetesh clinched the Bear Cub Division titles at the Langley Golf Course and the Meridian Golf Course, returning two over cards of 56 each time. Finishing second in the two events were Canadian golfers, Darren Wallace and Johnny, respectively, finishing two strokes behind. And as if this was not enough, Ajeetesh clinched two more titles in the 12-13 age group returning scores of 81-79 (160) and 80-75 (156) at the Arbutus Ridge and
Ledgeview, respectively. Brady Johnson and Raffael Lee finished second by margins of three and five strokes, respectively. In the remaining two contests, Ajeetesh finished second with scores of 74-81(155) and 82-80 (162). A beeming Ajeetesh talked about his daily practice. He did two hours of practice everyday barring Wednesdays when he prepares for his weekly school tests. His father, who was sitting next to him, is his mentor and guide. Two months back Ajeetesh did the country proud when he finished ninth in the Asia Pacific Junior Golf Tournament held at
Kuching, Malaysia. He finished with a three-round card of 86-78-81 (245). So impressed were the officials of the Canadian Junior Golf Association with this young Indian lad that they have recommended him for Canadian citizenship. The letter addressed to the Canadian High Commissioner, says Ajeetesh honours the spirit of the game by his impeccable conduct and friendly manners and has been an instant friend with the many fellow competitors he has met in his time here. Ajeetesh has a very good command of the English language and knows the rules of golf very well for a young man of 12 The letter adds : His potential is unlimited, given a favourable arena to show his capability. And we would certainly like to have Ajeetesh play in Canada as a Canadian citizen and develop his skills to as high a level as possible. Our Canadian junior golf programmes will allow this, and particularly in British Columbia, where golfers may compete for 12 months of the year... |
Michael Vandort props up Lanka Board XI Colombo, August 8 Vandort hit 19 fours in his 159-ball knock, which gave the team a respectable total after they had been reduced to 45 for three within the first 10 overs.

eclectic imaging (redux) | ||
Notre-Dame du Finistère: OrganPosted by MadScientist (Düsseldorf, Germany) on 21 August 2010 in Art & Design. Agreed, the lower part of this shot looks a bit messy, but I've included it for having a scale on the dimensions of this very, very impressive organ of Notre-Dame du Finistère. Unfortunately we missed the regular Monday organ concert; I'm sure the experience would have been breathtaking. My (old) coffee-table book of selected postings. More MadScientist: eclecticimaging.tumblr.com, the guy behind this blog @MARIANA: You're too kind!! @Phil David Alexander Morris: A spectacular device, indeed. @Ted: Yes, it's a beast! :-) But a nice one: I really would have loved to listen to her! @Lori: Many thanks, Lori! @Japanalia: Most likely from the same artist, unfortunately I didn't find much data. @Christine Walsh: That would have been an impressive surprise, without doubt! @Ronnie 2¢: I've found an image with closed doors elsewhere, and I think I would have prepared this. You can't have it all! |

Clarity, range, efficiency and a tempting price to buy a sennheiser wireless!!!!
Sennheiser RS110 is a good product , unlike the IR based cordless headphones , this set does not require direct line of site for the receiver to work. The only down side is clarity is compromised. If you are just looking for a wireless head phone to listen to general television programs , this suits your need , however if you are music buff looking for high bass and clarity, probably this is not the right choice for you.

Pettit Zinc Spray
I have a max prop on my boat for the past 24 years and have tried all sorts of things to keep it clean including a labratory grease which seem to promote barnacle growth rather than deplete it. For the past 10 years I've been using a hard bottom paint, but I do prep it with a underwater primer before application. This includes first sanding the prop, wipeing down with a solvent, then applying interlux vinyl lux primewash and then the primocon primer before the putting a hard bottom paint on. I keep the boat in the Cheaspeake and haul out just every two or three years diving on the boat maybe once a season with minimual cleaning. The boat is used heavily throughout the year only sitting in the slip during the winter months. It is a PITA to prep that prop and I hear that Max Prop is recommending the use of the Pettit Zinc Spray. I am thinking about switching since it seems like a easier application, but I'm not sure if I can get multi season use out of that product. The jury is still out...
